For the phrase καθ᾽ ὑπερβολήν, ";beyond measure,"; ";exceedingly,"; as in Romans 7:13, al., cf. P Tebt I. 23.4 (B.C. 119 or 114) καθ᾽ ὑπερβολὴν βεβαρυμμένοι, ";I am excessively vexed"; (Edd.), ib. 42.5 (c. B.C. 114) ἠδικημένος καθ᾽ ὑπερβολὴν ὑπ [ὸ ] Ἁρμιύσιος, ";I have been excessively unfairly treated by Harmiusis"; (Edd.).
Other exx. of the word are P Amh II. 36.13 (c. B.C. 135) λείπω τε τὴν ὑπερβολήν, ";I do not exaggerate"; (Edd.), P Lond 1916.15 (c. A.D. 330–340) τῆς [ὑ ]περβολῆς ὑμῶν, ";your superfluity"; (Bell), and, with reference to extension of time, ";delay,"; P Petr II. 3 (18 b).14 (B.C. 258–253) οὐ [κέ ?]τι ὕστερον ὑπερβολὴν δεξομένων, apparently of contractors’ receiving no further extension of time, and ib. 37 Ib recto.17 (iii/B.C.) ὁ γὰρ καιρὸς οὐδεμίας ὑπερβολῆς προσδεῖται.
If we can trust the restoration, a striking ex. of ὑπερβολή occurs in the famous calendar inscr. Priene 105.39f. (c. B.C. 9), where the birthday of the Emperor Augustus is referred to in the terms—
οὐδ᾽ ἐν τοῖς ἐσομένοις ἐλπίδ [α λιπὼν ὑπερβολῆς ], ἦρξεν δὲ τῶι κόσμωι τῶν δι᾽ αὐτὸν εὐαγγελί [ων ἡ γενέθλιος ] τοῦ θεοῦ,
";he has not left for those who will come after him any hope of surpassing him, but the birthday of the god was for the world the beginning of good tidings on his account.";
